Real talk: the market is not what it was a year ago—and staying ahead of the shifts is what helps my clients win.🏆✨

📉 Mortgage rates are hovering in the 6.4–6.9% range (as of early June 2025)
📈 Inventory has gone up in many areas, but demand is still low due to affordability concerns
📊 According to GNR, inventory has gone up 32% since last year, equaling a significant shift in Supply & Demand.

So what does that mean for you?

➡️ Sellers: Pricing smart is non-negotiable. Overpricing = your home sitting on the market while buyers scroll past.
➡️ Buyers: You do have a bit more negotiation power than you did in 2021, but high rates mean you need a clear financial strategy.
➡️ Everyone: What worked last year won’t work right now. Period.

Here’s what I do differently for my clients:
✔️ Track and interpret local market data weekly
✔️ Adapt pricing and marketing strategies based on what’s actually happening, not wishful thinking
✔️ Guide sellers through pre-list prep that attracts real offers
✔️ Help buyers run the numbers so they’re making confident offers

If you're feeling uncertain about the market right now, you're not alone. Let's chat about what it really means for your goals—and build a plan that works now.

Let’s talk about something that’s catching way too many sellers off guard lately... 😬 The true cost of selling a home.⁠

I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had recently with homeowners who are shocked when they realize how much it actually costs to sell. From agent commissions to repairs, to staging, concessions, and even moving—it adds up quickly. 💸

The biggest trap I see? Sellers trying to cut corners because they’re aiming to walk away with a certain number in their pocket… but the market just doesn’t support that price.⁠

And when corners get cut—like skipping staging or ignoring inspection repairs—it usually ends up costing more in the long run. Either the home sits, gets lowball offers, or buyers walk away. 😩⁠

Swipe through for a breakdown of what you really need to budget for when selling. And if you’re not sure what you’ll actually net or how to play it smart in this market, send me a DM. I’ll break it all down for you—honestly and clearly. 🙌🏼

Plot twist: You're looking to buy a home and realize new construction could help you save in a big way. We loved our new construction home we purchased on 2nd back in the day and it almost doubled in value by the time we sold it. 😍

According to the latest data drop from the Census and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median sales price for newly built homes is currently lower than the median sales price for existing homes today. 👀

↓
💵 The quick breakdown:

• BUILDERS are focused on building what they can sell. And right now, the market is demanding smaller, more affordable homes.

• HOWEVER, there are a ton of newly built homes already on the market, so builders are motivated to make sure they’re selling what they’ve got available before adding more.

• WHICH MEANS, builders are offering a range of incentives to help move inventory, including competitive mortgage rates, covering closing costs, free finish upgrades, and more.

Buying a newly built home just might be the perfect fit for your needs and your budget.

What do you think? Would you consider buying new?

Received a call from a past client hoping to hire us AGAIN for a major remodel and addition on a property they are buying.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It’s conversations like this that remind me:

1. I love ❤️ getting to work and build great relationships with people over the years and see their dreams, goals, and families grow and evolve.

2. I’m a softie, and sometimes forget how the small things I do make a big impact (even when I don’t even know it) 🥹

3. I’m loyal to a fault and though some people may take advantage of that, others really appreciate it and feel the same way.

Hoping to work with me in the new year? Let’s chat now so we can come up with a schedule and game plan.

Plus I love some good holiday cheer to kick off any project! ✨

Today I am honored to be inducted onto the Greater Nashville Realtor Board of Directors and act as the Commercial Chair for 2025. ✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I have been part of the Greater Nashville Realtors for over 10 years and have had the privilege of bringing a unique, sometimes sassy 😆, perspective on how we better advocate for property ownership, investment and real estate development in Middle Tennessee.

We are one of the largest local trade associations in the country and I am excited to contribute to change at our local level next year and for many more to come.

Cheers, to being a lifelong Tennessee Volunteer!

What would you do if your client and friend went into the ICU during the biggest move of their life? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Earlier this summer my long-time friends and clients asked me to help them move. So we devised a game plan and I helped them sign a contract to build their dream home.

But we had to get their current home SOLD fast to make everything work. We made a to-do list. They packed up. Moved into an apartment, and I got it listed with an offer in hand overnight!
.. But then, before they could sign to accept, a simple migraine turned into something more serious. My friend had a brain aneurysm and was rushed to the ER.

But SHE had taken care of the move, boxed everything up, and her husband was left in the dark trying to put the puzzle pieces together. Offers kept coming in, but all we could do was wait and pray.

In the meantime, we were all in shock. What should or could we even do? I got to work. I called every attorney in town to see what needed to be done.

I didn’t have any answers for anyone. Would she live? Would she make a full recovery? What about her Real Estate contracts?

Day in and out we waited by her side for signs of improvement. It felt like an eternity. She was slowly able to get off the ventilator. hen fight the infections. Then scans showed she had full brain activity.

We had hope! Their attorney was able to come by on a day she was strong enough to sign a POA.

Everyone rose up to do what was right during this journey. We SOLD their home to that first buyer while she focused on healing.

At her new home orientation, we both cried tears of happiness. Then the next Friday, they CLOSED on their brand-new home!

I am honored to be a part of their story of resilience, strength, and hope. Never stop believing in your dreams.
